Jig · 6/8 · G major

Mahone Bay is a traditional jig in the key of G major with a standard 6/8 meter, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain undocumented in standard historical sources. The tune features the bouncy, triplet-driven rhythm characteristic of Maritime Canadian and Celtic fiddle traditions, making it well-suited for lively social dancing. It is frequently played in regional jam sessions and community dances across Atlantic Canada, where musicians value its straightforward yet engaging melodic structure.
